What Metartec does

Metartec is a privately held UK and Ireland-based critical power solutions provider, headquartered in Harefield, Middlesex with a regional office in Belfast. The company designs, supplies, and maintains Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems spanning 650VA single-phase units to 7.5MVA modular three-phase installations, alongside lithium-ion and VRLA batteries, custom low-voltage switchgear (up to 6000 Amps), power factor correction, harmonic filters, and MCS-approved solar PV systems. Its proprietary DARA™ (Distributed Active-Redundant Architecture) underpins the MEGA M and GIGA M modular UPS lines, which the company claims achieve nine-nines availability and 97.1–97.6% double-conversion efficiency, while its own-brand MILLI PT line is Swiss-designed. A REACT remote monitoring platform provides 24/7 SNMP-based telemetry across installed fleets.

The firm makes money across three streams: capital hardware sales (UPS, batteries, switchgear, solar), multi-year maintenance subscriptions (UltimateCover, PartComprehensive, ServiceOnly) covering approximately eleven third-party UPS brands plus own-brand equipment, and managed hire of UPS (650VA–500kVA) and generators (15kVA–2.1MVA) including containerised 1.4MW deployments for international sporting events. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with site surveys, bespoke system design, professional installation, and after-sales support, supplemented by digital enquiry forms and a small direct channel for domestic and SMB customers. Its customer base spans UK data centres (notably a multinational London-headquartered telecom's multi-site MEGA M deployment), government and public sector, rail industry (with over 30 years of documented supply), industrial and manufacturing, finance, healthcare, retail, and event/broadcast operators; partnerships include an exclusive arrangement with Yuasa Battery and OEM-qualified servicing across major UPS brands. The company is led by a five-person director team (managing, operations, sales, finance, and an additional director) and is an independent, privately held, bootstrapped business with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding history, and no parent or VC investor recorded in the available data.
